One Of The Bravest Things You Can Do Is Let Go
It’s pretty scary to have to let go of something. Still, it’s one of the healthiest decisions you can make. Sometimes it is really very difficult.
The past binds you; your fears keep you from coming to the necessary closure. You may feel as if you have failed. But you have not lost; you won.
Courage and Doubt
You must be very strong and aware that regret and doubt will invade your mind, to confuse you and give you the urge to go back. However, remember how brave you are. After all, letting go takes a lot more courage than pretty much anything else.
Let go and free yourself from what you don’t need
You may not want to see it, but your dependence and fear of letting go show you that what you thought was so important is actually unnecessary.
Just think about how you go through your clothes when you’re clearing out your closet. Very often your closet is still full of clothes that you should have thrown away a long time ago. However, there is something that makes you keep them.
Social Beings
Our social relationships are indispensable to us. We are, after all, social beings who need to interact with each other. However, relationships come with emotions, which means that sometimes you will also be in pain. You enjoy bliss and you care about other people.
Ending a relationship you’ve been in for years because it no longer works is not nearly as simple as it may sound. You think about everything you’ve been through together and why you got together in the first place.
Don’t get stuck in the past
For some things you will blame yourself, but remember: if you have given all of yourself, there is no way to go any further.
And what happens if the other person leaves you? Breakups always leave broken hearts. It’s not easy, it hurts, and you want to go back.
However, you don’t realize that this attitude keeps you stuck in a past that is no longer your present and that will never be your future.
Fear of letting go
If you find it hard to let go, it may be because the things you’re doing aren’t really helpful, but rather lead you in the opposite direction.
Think about that toxic relationship you were in, unable to break free. Without realizing it, you may be using this relationship to feed your anger or use the situation to feel like a victim.
Free yourself from the vicious circle
If you’re ever unhappy, see if it’s because you’re afraid to let go.
It seems as if we as humans are somehow attracted to painful experiences. They restrain us and prevent us from seeing the good things in life.
However, it is possible to free yourself from that vicious circle that you have become trapped in.
Letting go is liberating
Even if it hurts, even if you regret your choice to let go, one thing always remains true and that is that letting go is liberating.
Think about the following:
- Don’t Be Afraid of Being Alone: Actually, you’re not alone, but you can still feel like you are because you let go of something that was a big part of your life. However, there are so many things to look forward to and the feeling you have right now won’t last forever.
- Letting go doesn’t mean you no longer love someone: Not staying with someone out of selfishness is just a sign of how much you love them. After all, loving someone doesn’t mean that they belong to you.
- You didn’t fail, you learned something: Sometimes we think that other people are responsible for our happiness. It is, however, a complete mistake to think so. You should not give others power over your happiness. If you do, you will experience a great void when these people leave your life.
Letting go is a decision brave people make and one that is absolutely necessary. It’s hard, but that’s no reason not to do it. Sometimes situations arise in your life where you have to let go of something or someone in order to move forward.
